section-boxos being put from one of the old 

 colonies on tlie liive containing the united 

 swarms. Then this old colony is put on a 

 new stand, and the hive containing the two 

 swarms put in its place, thus giving all tlie 

 field-bees from this colony, in addition to the 

 two swarms, which makes a colony which 

 will do wonderful work during the honey 

 harvest, a colony from which I take 100. 150. 

 and even 200 one-pound sections of the 

 choicest of honey, according as the season 

 proves.'" 



" But what about the queens I Do you let 

 both go in with the double swarms T' 



"No. The queens, having their wings 

 clipped, give me the power of disposing of 

 them as I think best, and so I let the queen 

 go back with the colony which was moved 

 to a new stand, and allow the one from the 

 colony not moved to go with the united 

 swarms. The moved colony losing not only 

 the swarm, but also all of its field-bees, feels 

 so poor that the queen-cells are torn down, 

 and all idea of swarming is given up; but 

 this colony soon picks up from the multitu- 

 dinous emerging brood, so that often it will 

 do quite good work in the sections."' 



" But will there not be alter-swarms from 

 the other parent colony '.'' 



"The hive furnishing the queen for the 

 doubled swarms is not disturbed in eight 

 days, at which time the first young queen will 

 have emerged from her cell, when the hive 

 should be opened and all queen-cells de- 

 stroyed, which will entirely prevent any 

 attempt at second or after swarming.'" 



" But if all have not swarmed up to within 

 a day or two of the opening of the harvest, 

 what do you do with them — keep on uniting 

 two swarms ?" 



"No. All that have not swarmed at the 

 commencement of the honey harvest are made 

 to swarm in this manner : A liive is filled 

 with frames of empty combs, or those par- 

 tially or whollj' full of honey, and placed 

 upon the stand of one of the colonies which 

 has not swarmed, and all the sections are 

 taken off and placed thereon ; then all the 

 bees are shaken and brushed off their combs 

 of brood and honey in front of this prepared 

 hive. Thus we have the queen, bees, partly 

 filled sections, etc., which make a colony 

 ready for business at once. Previous to this 

 a few nuclei should have been started, so that 

 we may have the needed laying queens to use. 

 Now take all the combs from which the bees 

 were brushed except one. arrange them in 

 the hive, carrying it to the stand of another 

 colony which has not swarmed. Next take 

 the comb of lirood which was left out. and go 

 to a nucleus, taking out the frame having the 

 laying queen on it. and put the coiubof brood 

 in its place. Take the frame (bees, queen, 

 and all) and set it in the place left vacant for 

 it when arranging the combs of brood. Put 

 on the sections, and when all is complete 

 move the colony, not having swarmed, to a 

 new stand, and set the prepared hive in its 

 place. Thus we have a laying queen and 

 enough of her own bees to protect her. combs 

 full of brood, and all of the field or old bees 

 from the removed colony, which make a col- 

 ony that is ready to go into the sections in a 

 very few days. The removed colonj' has sim- 

 ply lost the old or field bees, so as to stop the 

 swarming impulse, and in a week will be 

 ready for work in the sections again." 



" That sounds good, and I believe I will try 

 some of my colonies that way. But don't 

 you tliink non-swarming would be desirable 

 under any circumstances ?" 



■' Yes, I certainly do, especially for out- 

 apiaries. We have many of our best bee- 

 keepers at work in the matter, and I fully 

 expect that, before the year 192.5 shall be 

 ushered in, something of universal value will 

 have been brought out for the benefit of the 

 fraternity. But the above is as good as any- 

 thing in sight at present for the home apiary, 

 such as yours." — G. M. Doolittle, in Glean- 

 ings in Bee-Culture.
